He’s making a list and checkin’ it twice! We are gearing up to roll out our very popular Letters from Santa!
A Christmas tradition for many children around the world is getting to sit down and write their letter to Santa! You may have even done this yourself as a child, listing your favorite toys, games and treats in hopes of getting what you “wish” for. This rite of passage plays an important role in the magic of celebrating Christmas. If this is a tradition that your family likes to take part in, then we are so excited to share what White Ink has for you!
We think that writing to the North Pole doesn’t have to be a one-way street. This is our favorite time of year because we finally get to offer our “Letters from Santa”! And they are SO much fun! These letters are the perfect way to add to the joy that children delightfully dive into during this time of year.
Each of our letters from Santa includes custom calligraphy on the front of the envelope showing your child’s name. The envelopes are beautifully lined with a properly seasonal tartan plaid liner which always delivers that “holiday feel”. Inside, your child will find their card from Santa Claus confirming that they made it to the Nice List! (Phew!)
The letter is sealed with a Santa monogram wax seal. And finally, each letter from Santa will be complete with vintage Christmas postage. Of course, the postage will be stamped by the North Pole because it totally came from there! Don’t worry though, we will mail your letter in a white flat mailer addressed to you (NOT your child). You get to choose the perfect time for your little one to discover that Santa has a big surprise for them, and it’s not even Christmas yet!
We are excited to add that Santa has updated his desk stationary! This year, White Ink is offering a chance for parents to get in on the fun by including a “Naughty List” card this holiday season. If you’re looking for a cheeky way to bring a laugh to a spouse, friend or family, send them a letter from the jolly old man himself and enjoy the smile it brings to them.
The only thing that could make this any better is adding our adorable little gift tags from the North Pole, more importantly, from Santa! This is just another small detail that can keep the magic going all the way to Christmas Day! Place these onto the gifts that the “elves” worked so hard to make as an official gift from Santa. I especially love the holly floral print on these little guys!
For the kids (and parents) who are still fully wrapped in the magic and enchantment of the holidays, receiving a letter from Santa Claus is sure to leave a lasting impression. Christmas isn’t just a time of year, it’s a feeling. A child will never forget what it felt like to open the letter that Santa wrote just for them. And White Ink is proud to make this happen for your sweet kiddos and family. Whether you’ve been naughty or nice, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Kayla and Caleb’s Nashville wedding was an absolute dream! This picturesque event of classic and timeless details was something you just couldn’t take your eyes off of. From the gothic style architecture of Scarritt Bennett’s Wightman Chapel to the grandeur of Nashville’s Schermerhorn Symphony Center, there wasn’t a stone left unturned as Kayla and Caleb carefully placed together one of the best Nashville weddings White Ink has seen. I want to share with you all of the finer details that we were honored to be a part of. Hopefully you can take away some serious wedding inspo from this gorgeous day!
We designed our couple’s wedding invitation suite to embody the elegance of their big day. A custom monogram delicately stood out on the beautiful card stock. I loved adding the extra touch of using a custom, monogram, gold, wax seal for the envelopes. These are small details that pack a big impression!
Programs- What separates White Ink from big box paper retailers? We make it our job to take out the guess work! We understand what should go into your programs, we know how many you need, the size, where to “splurge”, and how even to incorporate elements form your invitation suite. We have the experience and the expertise to help you get EXACTLY what you need for important, day-of details just like this.
It’s hard to top the simple elegance a mirrored seating chart. I have always loved how the white lettering on the glass instantly elevates the beauty of this double-rib framed mirror. Kayla and Caleb styled this gorgeous seating chart with florals (always a good idea!) and surrounded it with glass vases holding floating candles. I can’t think of a better way to be invited to take my seat at a table in the opulent Schermerhorn. Divine!
The most elegant part to these custom designed reception menus is that each menu had the guests’ names calligraphed directly on to them. This is why I love what I do! I love when my couples give me the chance to really elevate the finer details of their reception. And yes, guests DO notice little things just like this and often appreciate the level of attention.
Kayla and Caleb went with one of my favorite bar signs from our rental collection. We customized the drink menu to fit with the style of all other day-of paper goods as well as the invitation suite. And please take a moment to gush over the print of their sweet pup, Cash, on the cocktail napkins! Cocktail napkins are the perfect moment to bring in something special or personal to your big day. And it’s a detail that will be cherished forever.
I think one of the most appreciated details of the evening were these adorable koozies that we customized for Kayla and Caleb! They once again took time to personalize an item that guests were able to use and enjoy. It was the perfect little koozie for guests to use with their drinks while they let loose on the Schermerhorn dance floor! I couldn’t love this more.
For the White Ink team, this was a night to remember. Nights like this make us proud to do what we do. We love making our couples happy! Kayla and Caleb were an amazing couple to work with. They knew exactly what they wanted and trusted us to pull their vision together. And we are honored to do just that. Cheers to the happy couple!
Every moment of planning with this sweet couple was a true joy for all of us at White Ink. Morgan and Tommy chose an incredible balance of boldness and gentleness throughout their wedding details making this wedding unforgettable for all in attendance. I love getting to show you all events where there is no shortage of details that aim to inspire. Enjoy!
Morgan and Tommy’s invitation suites delicately showcased a beautiful lavender color and theme- a detail that was laced throughout the entire ceremony and reception! The letterpress work on the card stock paper was beautifully done by our friends at Clover Calligraphy Co. who always do impressive work! A soft lavender hue was chosen for the envelopes in addition to the vellum envelope liners with a dainty tuber rose print. I also want to point to the pressed flowers in the custom wax seals! Is this not the dreamiest invitation suite?
If you look closely at the details card from our bride and groom’s invitation suite, you can see that this textured card is actually seed paper! The cards were infused with wildflower seeds so that wherever guests planted their cards, wildflowers would grow! Talk about a memorable detail!
The wedding welcome sign was done in a frosted acrylic. It really brought me back to the invitation suite details as guests could see the same custom monogram from the invite as well as the beautiful tuber rose print on the vellum envelope liner. Connecting details throughout an event, especially a wedding, can easily elevate your special day.
A very thoughtful detail that Morgan and Tommy added to their June wedding was letting us create these adorable fan programs which, of course, included the stunning lavender color theme and floral prints that blanketed the details of their wedding. This is a perfect example of making parts of your ceremony details functional for your guests while maintaining a delicate theme.
Alright you guys, it’s time to talk about this stunning, garden-party inspired seating chart! Guests could find their escort cards in these adorable little wooden garden boxes that were appropriately filled with gorgeous florals and greenery. One of the sweetest seating charts I’ve been honored to take part in.
Among all of the delicate designs of the day, Morgan and Tommy still maintained a wonderful balance of boldness, like this one-of-a-kind bourbon bar. We got to create this awesome, laser-engraved, wooden bourbon bar sign which matched incredibly well with the rustic look they wanted for this setting. I’m really proud of how great this sign turned out. It made for a great conversation piece among guests too!
White Ink also created the custom cocktail sign using the same frosted acrylic as the wedding welcome sign. Yes to matching signage!
The table signage, place cards, and escort cards were not left out of this lavender inspired theme. Look at how well all of the finer details fit together! I’m obsessed. Notice more of the tuber rose print throughout.
I loved getting to create these summer-perfect, lavender-inspired menus for Morgan and Tommy’s reception. Does the wax seal look familiar? It’s the same custom wax seal with pressed flowers that sealed the guests’ invitation suites! These looked so amazing among the beautiful tablescapes.
I am so proud of the work we were able to accomplish for Morgan and Tommy! This summer wedding was one for the books and certainly one I will remember for years to come. When it comes to summer wedding inspiration, I guess you could say, this couple has planted the seed! Cheers!
When it comes to planning a spring wedding in Nashville that can deliver an enchanting array of florals, Cheekwood reigns supreme. If you know me, then you probably hear me talk about my obsession with florals especially when it comes to invitations. The cherry on top is when the very florals we use to design invitation suites actually match the florals of the event and can be seen throughout the decor of the day!
This past April, White Ink had the honor of working with the sweetest couple on their wedding day stationary details. Molly and Cam share the same love for florals that I do and together, we created one of my favorite suites to date. I’m so excited to share this one.
This invitation suite was so inspiring for me and the White Ink team to create. We loved having the chance to let the beauty of florals and calligraphy interlace in the most magnificent ways.
This invitation is designed using full spot calligraphy in dusty rose ink and letter pressed onto beautiful, white stock card. I love the unique, tilted orientation of the print. Each of these details makes this invite so very memorable to the guests receiving them.
It’s important that I point out one of the best parts about this suite. The floral design that is printed on the beautiful dusty rose liner is the very floral print that lined the bar at the reception area of the wedding day. Tying together wedding day details is a top tier move, tying together floral details is magical.
Our fun continued with Molly and Cam’s guest escort cards. These cards were done using a delicate scalloped card stock. Spot calligraphy on, you guessed it, dusty rose (a fast favorite for many of our clients!).
I personally love the way these gently designed escort cards were displayed on a grand, round, linen table topped with bold florals. It’s all about balance, this is a gorgeously perfect example.
Molly and Cam took the time to bring in florals throughout the wedding day decor which was only enhanced by the remarkable scenery of Cheekwood. I look back on this project fondly and I am so proud of how wonderfully it all came together for our amazing couple. Florals seem to speak their own special language that people intuitively understand. Florals represent life, they represent love. Florals are forever.
I am honored beyond words that I get to work alongside so many amazing vendors for weddings and other major events. It is a community that I never knew I needed. We all may have different jobs, but in the end, we are working towards one goal- giving our clients the wedding/event of their dreams! Taking part in the beautiful nuptials of our couple, Emma and John, last October gave us a front-row seat to one of the dreamiest weddings we had the pleasure of being a part of. I’ve been excited to show you all of the personalized details that made this wedding exceptional. In truth, there is a lot of hard work that goes into a wedding day, but the effects of that dedication last far longer than just a single day; we help create the details that are put into memories that last forever.
Emma and John’s save-the-date was done using card stock topped with gold calligraphy and tucked into a warm, dusty rose envelope giving it a most delicate and inviting feel. I like to imagine the smiles people give when opening up these happy color combos.
This invitation suite steals the show. For me, this is about as good as it gets. The invitation was done in letterpress on handmade paper (yes, handmade paper). I especially love how Emma and John went from a dusty rose save-the-date envelope to dusty blue invitation suite envelopes. The envelopes were closed with a gold, custom, monogrammed wax seal. (Icing on the cake!)
Emma and John personalized their invitation suite to include a liner that had a print which was actually hand-painted by John’s mother. The same print was also used on the suite’s vellum overlay. THIS is what I mean when I say we help create memories that last forever. How special is this gorgeous detail?
John’s mother, Penny, is an artist who took on the role of creating this piece for her son and daughter-in-law as a way to include those who were with them in spirit. She used very special and specific details in this image to represent those loved ones. We were honored to pen the letter that went along with the beautiful picture display.
The chalkboard directional signs fit perfectly within the woodsy scenery of this Cheekwood venue. They stand out just enough to guide guests to their seats.
Here is a refreshing new detail that we don’t see very often. The couple wanted to have special seating for the ceremony portion of the wedding. We did that by taking the printed programs and writing the names of each guest so they knew where to find their seat. This was a beautiful example of how much thought went into each moment of Emma and John’s big day.
You can never go wrong with a classically beautiful, mirrored seating chart. Although this is a very popular seating chart display, there was something especially whimsical about seeing the textural differences of the glass mirror against the beautiful trees in the garden.
White Ink is always happy to put our touch on table signage like we did for Emma and John’s bar sign. But what we loved most was getting to make the super awesome cocktail napkins that displayed several of the couple’s favorite sayings. Taking it to the next level and making it your own, is what’s it’s all about. I hope you enjoy these!
Another table-top sign was for the deliciously showstopping oyster and shrimp bar! Yum!
Every single wedding White Ink gets to be a part of is always so special to us. We loved the deeply personal touches that Emma and John made room for on their big day. A gem of a wedding, indeed! Cheers to the happy couple! Check out some of the amazing vendors who took part in this event.
There is something really special about getting to be a part of an entire wedding process all the way from the invitation suites down to the monogrammed wax seals on the menu cards. It means so much to us at White Ink when our brides and grooms trust us to help bring their big day to life! It’s why we’re here, and it’s why we’re never leaving. I hope you enjoy the beautiful recap of Elizabeth and James’s wedding day as much as we enjoyed being a part of it.
We made our way to the stunning Cordelle in downtown Nashville to help bring together the finer details of Elizabeth and James unforgettable wedding day. The energy from this couple was genuine and light. They were such a delight to work with the entire way.
We’ll start with the invitation suite. Each detail was carefully selected. Spot Calligraphy, vintage postage, hand-made paper with custom monogram (my personal favorite), envelope calligraphy, all wrapped in a delicate black velvet ribbon and tucked into the always classy dusty-blue hue envelopes. I am on cloud nine every time I look at these beauties. Simply stunning! Fun fact: dusty blue has been one of our most popular colors this year by far.
“Welcome to our Wedding,” simply put and warmly welcoming, the welcome sign we did for Elizabeth and James was elegant and perfectly placed inside this timeless, ornamented frame. Fun tip: mirrors will work with absolutely ANY event style- I promise.
White Ink created the chic program for our couple’s nuptials. You can see the same black velvet ribbon that bound the gorgeous invitation suites was also used around Elizabeth and James’s ceremony programs. Raise your hand if you love details that can carry over!
Another beautifully mirrored sign in a thick, distressed, gold ornamented frame that we used for the couple’s seating chart. “Our Favorite People” is quickly becoming one of my favorite titles for seating charts. So warm and inviting!
White Ink menus are always top-notch menus. The best part about working with Elizabeth and James is how they really wanted to tie together so many delicate details. They chose to use the same hand-made paper for their menus that was also used to create their invitation suites. A solid decision for a bold and timeless wedding. The wax seal used to combine the place cards and menus boasts a custom monogram as well. Fun tip: Elevate your place cards with custom spot calligraphy.
We also supplied Elizabeth and James with our super sleek table numbers that fit effortlessly into the dreamy tablescape.
If you don’t think disco balls and custom monograms belong together, I’m here to tell you- Oh yes, they do! The monogram we used with the handmade invite paper was carried over to the dance floor, illuminated by a chandelier of disco balls. I can’t stop looking. This is just the best thing ever and really gives you a peek into the fun energetic style of our beautiful couple.
I am so happy we finally got a chance to bring you into one of the most fun nights we’ve had in a long time. Elizabeth and James allowed us to show off our creativity and interlace this entire journey with distinctive details and style. They made my job easy, and I love my job! Cheers!
